Ever wonder what separates those living an elite life from those who live a mediocre one? Is it their bank account? Guess again.

There are many things but today I want to talk about experiences and memories. These are thing we all have right? But at what level and at what frequency? Ultimately life is and should be an adventure. This last year I have studied countless world- class people and it’s clear they are all constantly creating memorable experiences. In fact in 2015 I went on more adventures than I have in my entire life and let me tell you. It was life changing. I love hiking but never found the time to do it until I changed my mindset. I decided to make time and I planned out a new place to explore every week and scheduled work around it. Some trips were day hikes, some were half days, some were weekends and I've honestly never felt happier or more fulfilled.

I mean really, what's the point of doing anything if you’re not having fun, and it doesn’t elevate you emotionally? Now I know there are things in life that we must do that aren't fun and sometimes life can get a bit bland. Same thing day in and day out. So why not take a mini-adventure (half- day/weekend) every week, every month? This will snap you out of any complacency you may be feeling. Don't let yourself get complacent. Complacency is the killer of dreams and ambition. Make a list of adventures at the beginning of the year, and make sure you always have trips planned for your future. Some big, some small. Everyone may have different ideas of adventure but for me it's hiking, camping, traveling and exploring. ﻿HERE﻿you can find ideas to add to your list ;)

Always leave those you meet better off than they were before they met you.-Lance
